granted requests for blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the 
following:
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket approval 
of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by EES should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy

accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214).
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition within this period, EES 
is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities 
as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any 
security of another person; provided that such issuance or assumption 
is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of EES, 
compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably necessary or 
appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that 
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by 
continued approval of EES's issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is April 1, 2002.
